I'm finally getting down to what I've spent 8 years waiting for, applying to path residencies. I'm pumped about it. I'm trying to use that enthusiasm to help push me through all this ERAS stuff. I'm getting ready to write my personal statement, and am wondering if any of you have any particular bits of wisdom for how to approach it. I will definitely address why I'm interested in pathology, but I'm not sure what other key things to focus on. Maybe my research experience (just finished the PhD last summer), hobbies, life outside of medicine? Is there anything I should avoid saying in the personal statement?
I appreciate any constructive input that anyone has to offer.
